I’ve had the same problem before which led me to create a function in ~/.bashrc called xreset:
xreset () {
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal \
--output eDP-1-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3840x2160 --rotate normal \
--output DP-1-1 --mode 3840x2160 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal
} # xreset
After you get your monitors arranged by position and resolution, grab the current setup with:
$ xrandr | grep " connected"
HDMI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1107mm x 623mm
eDP-1-1 connected primary 1920x1080+3840+2160 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 215mm
DP-1-1 connected 3840x2160+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1600mm x 900mm
All the information is there for you to create your own xreset function.
